His Fathers Plan

Jesus was humble, a man betrayed by a friend
He knew he was a goner, yet he went easily
From a young age, he knew his place, as God’s son

There was mocking, but he did not react to it
Two others were on a cross that day, strangers
And yet, they were not strangers to his Father, right?

Jesus ignored the jeers and sneers, did not take them personally
This was the plan, he understood the reasons for his crucifixion
Yelling out “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do”.
